Nightwalks are special evening interpretive programs offered Friday nights in July and August (for 2013). This program is usually offered twice in the week between Christmas and New Year's. Participants are required to be silent during the one hour walk that allows visitors to step back in time. This walk is not recommended for children or others who can not participate without talking or whispering. There is a charge for this program ($6/adult and $3/child or senior with pass) and reservations are required (call 505-672-3861 x 517 during business hours).

Queen butterfly

Queen butterflies are often mistaken for Monarchs because they look so much alike.  This is beneficial to the Queen, who is avoided by predators who fear this look-alike may be as toxic as the Monarch.
